Who cares, was rooting for BJ, but Rory backed up his words big time and I see no need for being butthurt over some "showboating" it's not like it is against the rules and BJ have his own licking of blood and other stuff he has done over the years, it aint soccer. I give him a thumb up for exitement, BJ shouldn't have competed against him in the first place.

Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME popular or "legendary" fighter loses people find some reason to say that his opponent was disrespectful. In 80% of cases, it's a knee-jerk reaction to their favorite fighter getting handled.

I've been a fan for years. I love BJ Penn. Great fighter who I really wish would stick to 155 and make another run. But to be perfectly honest...

BJ Penn is one of the LEAST LIKELY fighters to be respectful to his opponents.

I don't give a flying fuck about his record. I don't care how legendary he is, or that he paved the way for the new breed. The fact remains that he talks a lot of shit before every fight he has. If he happens to actually lose, he almost ALWAYS blames it on the other fighter being a cheater. He literally licks his opponent's blood off of his gloves if he gets a finish.

If I fought that guy and was winning, FUCK HIS FEELINGS. Legend be damned, fuck his feelings. BJ's diehard fans are all butt-hurt about Rory taunting, but say NOTHING about him muttering "I'M GONNA KILL YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!" over and over during the fight introductions.

So let's get this straight. BJ claims Rory is on steroids. They BOTH agree to random VADA testing, and they BOTH pass. Rory pulls out of the fight due to injury, and BJ goes on and on about him "pulling out because he cycled his steroids badly".

Rory heals up, and BJ gets all in his face during the weigh-ins. Then he says he's gonna kill him right before the fight starts. Rory then proceeds to HANDLE BJ for all 3 rounds, and now you wanna bring up RESPECT?!? Get the fuck outta here.

Newsflash. Being one of the greatest fighters ever isn't a free excuse to say and do whatever you want without consequence. He deserves all the credit in the world for his accomplishments, but dude is not Jesus Christ. He's a fighter like anyone else.

BJ Penn talks more shit, does more disrespectful shit, and makes more excuses for losses than almost anyone else in the sport. Last night, he got his ass kicked by a young fighter who he shouldn't have even been in the same weightclass with. That is all.

Rory's 3 taunts were nothing compared to the shit BJ did. People just don't know how to handle their hero getting his head ripped off, so they make a big deal out of everything the other guy does when he loses. It's the main reason why Jones and GSP are hated on, and it's bullshit.

Fighters lose. No one is impervious to defeat, young or old. That's the game. Get used to it or shut your mouth. You motherfuckers shame the sport with your biased bullshit. If Rory really wanted to, he'd have killed him in the 2nd Round and you all would've talked about how disrespectful his last strike on the ground was. It never ends. Be a fan of the SPORT, not just one fighter. BJ lost. Life continues.

Look, we are all pretty devastated here at the UG by the shocking behavior we witnessed last weekend by that dastardly Canadian. (Ugh. I cannot even bring myself to mention his name). We should be willing to make an extra special effort to reach out and offer emotional support to our fellow posters as we begin the process of recovery from this traumatic event. I have no doubt that we will get through this together and emerge stronger than ever before.

Let the ugliness of Saturday night be but a distant fading memory. Let the healing begin.

I think the only thing Rory did that was disrespectful was allowing that to go to a decision. He could have easily finished BJ in every round. More than once BJ was crumpled on the fence bent over motionless. Seemed pretty obvious to me that Rory let it go the full 3 rounds just to punish and embarrass BJ, but BJ called Rory out, talked a lot of trash (as usual), and has no business fighting at WW.

VTFU for that. Was brilliant and spot on. Some psychologist should do a case study on the cargo cult that is BJ fanboydom. They epitomize hypocrisy, zealousness, and denial. I don't know if douchebaggery is a term a psychologist would use, so I'll leave it out.

can you tell me why he owed BJ any respect at all? BJ's behavior leading up to the fight pretty much earned him everything he got and more, IMO.

I think he owes the sport respect. he could have beat BJ with class and won a ton fans and respect by taking the high road. he chose to be a little self righteous punk and then to follow up with that "love me or hate me, I don't care" shit is dumb. but hey.. he wants to play the heel, so be it. I don't like him as a fighter for that, and can't wait to see him get beat.

i guess that's where we differ. i like him as a fighter for the way he fights. his behavior was warranted because of the way BJ treated him prior to the fight starting. it was harmless, i mean who did he hurt aside from a bunch of feelings on the internet?

if all it takes for you to dislike an exciting fighter like Rory is a little shuffle, well i don't really think you enjoy MMA for the fighting. just my humble opinion, of course.

I get what you are saying, but bj was exactly a prince leading up to the fight, and accused rory of roiding.

ok you guys, at least caseharts and Seuss and a few others, provide valid arguments. it's not that I'm not a fan of his skills, Seuss. he can hold a belt one day with what I saw from him... I think I'm just jaded by the Diaz way of acting that maybe deep down I don't want this kid to go down that road because I want to like this kid... I'm gonna go cry.

The funny thing is that somebody shuffles his feet and people are up in arms, but give somebody the middle finger and swear a few dozen times at them and nobody says anything. Must be nice to be a Diaz. Even if you can't win a championship. :P

BJ fans are a bunch of cry babies, i got a whole shit load of vote downs because I stated my opinion about thinking Rory was going to dominate BJ because he was just too big and strong. They all got butt hurt and started bashing me and talking shit like I didn't know what I was talking about, claiming BJ was going to light Rory up. Now they have all these excuses for BJ, he wasn't motivated, he was too old and small, he was past his prime. What happened to he wasn't too small the week before he got his ass kicked? All you nuthuggers saying a motivated BJ Penn was going to knock Rory out? As soon as he tasted Rory's power he was shook. He talked a bunch of shit before the fight and didn't know what he was getting himself into. It's okay when your favorite fighter talks shit whether it be BJ, Diaz bros, but when someone else does anything not even half as bad you guys start crying making threads about disrespect.
